The Conference of Parties (COP), at its eleventh session, invited Parties and accredited observers to submit to the secretariat, by 31 March 2006, their views on issues relating to reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries, focusing on relevant scientific, technical and methodological issues, and the exchange of relevant information and experiences, including policy approaches and positive incentives. The COP invited Parties also to submit recommendations on any further process to consider the issues. It requested the secretariat to compile the submissions from Parties in a miscellaneous document and to post those from accredited observers on the UNFCCC website (FCCC/CP/2005/5, para. 81). The secretariat received 18 submissions from Parties. In accordance with the procedure for
miscellaneous documents, these submissions are attached and reproduced in the language in which they were received and without formal editing. The secretariat received 16 submissions from accredited observers by 10 April 2006. As requested by the COP, the secretariat will post these submissions on the UNFCCC website
